30 Nigerian Praise and
Worship Songs with
Tonic Solfa for Music
leaders, singers, and
Musicians
Table of Contents!
Introduction:
Praise worship songs and choruses are
melodious tunes incorporated into church
music in Nigeria, and in other churches
around the world. Christians from Nigeria
take along with them some of these songs
and practically use them in the culture they
found themselves, irrespective of the
church denominations.
Some of these songs are recorded on
tapes and posted online, while the sources
of a few are unknown.
Out of a huge number of these beautiful
songs, we have written ‘30 Nigerian Praise-
worship songs with tonic solfa’ for
musicians and worship leaders who would
need to play them on their instruments and
sing as well. The songs are already in use
for worship services in the churches and
other outdoor programmes. We try as
much as possible to notate the melodies to
a near-perfect, for the copyright songs,
and the songs by the unknown authors.
There could be one or few notes that are
not quite sounding close to the way you
may have known the songs; this could be
easily changed with the aid of your
instrument.
With the melodies written in tonic solfa,
without the beat signs, that could be a bit
challenging, though helpful if the
performer has a fore-knowledge of the
songs and listen to the audio recordings.
SONGS AND TONIC SOLFA
A huge compilation of Nigerian praise and
worship songs and tonic solfa, suitable for

5. You are God from
beginning to the end,
There’s no place for argument
You are God all by Yourself.
You’ve got times and seasons in Your
hands,
You called for light out of darkness,
You don’t need a man to be the God You are,
But You have chosen to call me Your own.

14) We are the chosen
generation called forth to
show his excellence.
All I require for life God has given me I know
who I am
I know who God says I am what he says I am
Where he says I am I know who I am
I’m working in power, I’m working in
miracles
I live a life of favor
I know who I am
I’m working like a wonder
It doesn’t matter what you see now
I see his Glory I know who I am
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh I know who I am
